The only thing sweeter than a Victorian Cupcake is sharing it with the perfect company!
I frantically searched to surprise a guest who had a bigger sweet tooth than me and thanks to Yelp, I found the family owned Victoria Cake Company in Phoenix. Located in a mini-mall, this place was filled with an impressive variety of desserts and cupcakes which was their forte.
From vanilla to chocolate based cupcakes to more gourmet flavors, I specifically came for their best seller "The Pink Champagne" ($2.75). The dainty pink cake was light, airy and topped with a pink buttercream frosting. The mild champagne flavor played in the background and was sweet but not over the top. After a few bites, I agreed why this cupcake is their must order.
My guest was a big chocolate fan so it was a no brainer to buy one of the "Turtle Cupcake" ($2.75) which was the top selling chocolate flavor. This cupcake was more dense compared to it's counterpart with chocolate screaming in every direction. Topped with chocolate chips and walnuts with a drizzle of caramel had this ranked more heavy to taste.
We definitely preferred The Pink Champagne Cupcake and highly recommend buying an extra one to savor the unique flavor. As I checked out, I noticed the customer after me selected the same cupcakes as me. Two for two equals a sure thing.
They also bake personalized cakes and desserts. The staff was very friendly and ample parking is located in front. The inside seating is very limited.
I can't wait to cheers to the Pink Champagne Cupcake again!
